    Can't wait.

    On a side note: I really hope that there is a Generations Sky-Lynx in the works.

    I know these stories haven't been MTMTE-tier but I've enjoyed them well enough that I'm looking forward to Primacy. I always like it when they explore a bit more of Cybertron as well.
    I've never had as much of an issue with Livio's art as some, but I am glad he's lightened it up a lot since Chaos and Autocracy.

    Looks to be a pretty good story thus far. I wasn't a fan of the end of Autocracy due to its cheesiness at times, nor Monstrocity's use of Trypticon, but this looks to be solid. I'll buy it.

    I still can't get in to this art style, it's just so dull, dreary and isn't full of life like the rest of the IDW comics.

    However I do love it when I see we Transformers in an arctic climate.

    Did you really need to post that spoiler without tags for a book that hasn't come out yet? :mad

    It could have been the next page it could have been the last page of the issue, it doesn't change the fact that the comment contributes nothing to the discussion EXCEPT to give a spoiler for a book we haven't read yet. At least go back and edit your post to include the spoiler tags.

    Edit: I guess the tags don't really do much when you also posted the image so whatever. If you don't get my point then I doubt I can say anything to change your mind.

    The art from him has gotten better. I still like it because it makes you really look at what's going on. Anytime I re read anything he has drawn I find something new. On the flip side of this coin I can see why a lot of people do have problems. In almost any action scene it blurs rather quickly

    The guy who writes each story as the same grimdark "hero turns bad" stuff, and the guy whose art is so muddy and black that it's barely comprehensible. I still don't understand why and how IDW is still pushing this series. The general concensus about the series was negative, nobody really liked it, everybody complained about the muddy and ugly art... yet they now make a third series. One can only hope this is the last.

    Also, how can Optimus take a "sabbatical"... millions of years BEFORE humans even evolved in a distant, different plannet? But hey, this is the same comic where Ravage and Ratbat look like Earth creatures that will not exist for millions of years yet, or where the writer felt the idiotic need to make the Dinobots organic beastformers, totally forgetting and contradicting their actual IDW origin.
    I just wish IDW would put this in an "Elsewords" category so we know it has nothing to do with RID and MTMTE

    It looks like something, thats thankfully's going to be easy to ignore by two main writers, when it's done. Just like the previous two.

    I'm pretty sure those idiotic Dinobots forms (that exist only because "I wanna write Dinobots, and I don't care how little sense it makes!") aren't going to be discussed about by anyone outside this series.

    Casey's cover.. sniff. so much memory.

    I love Livio's art, but that cover just sends the wrong idea! I look at it and I think it's a bobblehead Optimus! Couldn't he have put Ironhide an inch to the right?!

    On topic, this series continues to amaze.
